> ACTION: JR to Proposal to limit "background image" to body of document
What do people think of taking a viewport approach?
3.1 Toggle background images (P1) Techniques for checkpoint 3.1
- Allow configuration not to render IMAGES THAT ARE RENDERED BENEATH ALL
OF THE OTHER CONTENT RENDERED IN A VIEWPORT.
Sufficient techniques
1. ALLOWING users to turn off images THAT THE USER AGENT RECOGNIZES
WOULD BE RENDERED BENEATH ALL OF THE OTHER CONTENT RENDERED IN A VIEWPORT.

3.1 Toggle background images (P1) Techniques for checkpoint 3.1
- Allow configuration not to render background image content.
Sufficient techniques
1. The user agent may satisfy this checkpoint with a configuration to
not render any images, including background images. However, user agents
should satisfy this checkpoint by allowing users to turn off background
images alone, independent of other types of images in content.
Normative inclusions and exclusions
1. This checkpoint must be satisfied for all implemented image
specifications; see the section on conformance profiles.
2. When configured not to render background images, the user agent is
not required to retrieve them until the user requests them explicitly.
When background images are not rendered, user agents should render a
solid background color instead; see checkpoint 4.3 for information about
text colors.
3. This checkpoint only requires control of background images for
"two-layered" renderings, where the background is considered the first
layer and everything rendered above it is considered the second layer.
4. Conformance profile labels: Image
